Seemingly complex strings are actually highly predictable, crackable within hours Generative AI tools are surprisingly poor at suggesting strong passwords, experts say.… AI security company Irregular ...

George Pólya’s random walk theorem absolved him of being a lurker and revealed how the laws of chance interact with physical ...

An algorithm and coding technique is presented for quick evaluation of the Lehmer pseudo-random number generator modulo 2 ** 31 - 1, a prime Mersenne number which produces 2 ** 31 - 2 numbers, on a ...

Abstract: In the post-Moore era, conventional pseudo-random number generators (PRNG) struggle to meet the demands of intelligent computing and IoT due to limitations in randomness, efficiency, and ...

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a tiger by the toe – so the rhyme goes. But even children know that counting-out rhymes like this are no help at making a truly random choice. Perhaps you remember when ...

Over 120,000 Bitcoin private keys were exposed through a flaw in Libbitcoin Explorer’s random-number generator, affecting multiple wallet platforms. The vulnerability, linked to the Mersenne ...

Adding numbers to your passwords makes them more secure. In fact, most sites and services these days require alphanumeric passwords at the very least. Some people ...

Generate a random integer between low and high (inclusive).

Trust, but verify: Random number generation is a serious matter in modern computing. Most systems rely on a purely hardware-based approach to RNG, but the process is essentially impossible to verify ...

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scientists have created the first random number generator that uses quantum entanglement, providing traceable and certifiable confirmation that ...
